It feels entirely appropriate that children be watched over by the newly unveiled bronze statue of Stella Young as they tumble and squeal in Stawell's accessible playground.
The much-admired disability advocate grew up in the small western Victorian town where she was today immortalised at an emotional ceremony.
Ms Young was 32 when she died suddenly in 2014, but her sharp wit, fierce advocacy and bravery to challenge social norms were warmly remembered.
Her father, Greg Young, performed Somewhere over the rainbow for the crowd on his ukelele, watched by her mother, Lynne, who helped design the monument in Cato Park with a team of Wimmera artists.
